Hello all I’m looking for any place there are going to be axis and allies tournaments in 2017.

Pretty sure I will hold one at the FMG Convention this September in Toronto Canada.

It will be a Global 1942 tournament exclusively.

Tournaments will take place at the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio (June) and Gen Con in Indianapolis, Indiana (August)

That’s fine if Canada and the US are within your travel radius.

If not, then you may have to downscale your aspiration from tournament to joining a playing group. Where do you live?

Am in the UK myself, where we have the Battle of Britain every 3 months. If you are not in UK, US or Canada I can PM an A&A contact in various other countries to ask for you.

Oh - and welcome to the forum Howell :-)

Finally posting after lurking for almost a decade now.  Hi everyone.

There’s going to be a Revised (2004 Edition) tournament at the WBC tournament this year (It’s an annual boardgaming/wargaming tournament/convention.  They typically play Avalon Hill and GMT games.).

The tournament is going to be from Friday, July 21 (Preliminaries) until Saturday, July 22 (Semifinals/Finals).  The convention itself is continuing for the rest of the week (July 22-30).
The format uses a unique ruleset to make the game playable in a limited amount of time.  I can post the rules if you’re interested.

Link(s) to Event Website:
boardgamers.org (Can’t actually post links but you get the idea.  A search of “World Boardgaming Championships” will take you to the page as well)

GM (Tournament Organizer.  He can answer any questions better than I can probably) : Craig Yope (NOT ME)
I don’t know the rules for sending email addresses out, so I’d have to PM it to anyone who’s interested.

I’m going to be making a thread for this event as well, as I don’t see one anywhere on here.
